I was doing a security audit last night and running ethereal.
Immediately after starting it, I was seeing SSDP from MY router (
192.168.1.1 )  to the IP address 239.255.255.250 ( ep.net ). Since I'm
not sure what SSDP is besides that it is Simple Services Discovery
Protocol, I did:

/sbin/route -nq add -host 239.255.255.250 127.0.0.1 -blackhole
ipfw add 98 deny all from 239.255.255.250 to me in via xl0
ipfw add 99 deny all from me to 239.255.255.250 out via xl0

In hopes that it would stop the packets, but it didnt and the activity
continued on ethereal. Could someone please shed some light on why I
might be sending SSDP to this particular IP address every 10 seconds?

I can supply ethereal logs if needed.
